Oslo Perl 6+Enlightened Perl Hackathon 2009

Saturday 18th, Sunday 19th and Monday 20th of April at Redpill-Linpro's training facilities in Oslo.

We had a very successful Hackathon there for the Perl-QA people last April, and would like to offer the same opportunity to the Perl 6 and Enlightened Perl people this time.

Details are sketchy still, but we know at least this:

The Hackathon will happen. Redpill-Linpro are giving access to their nice offices and sponsoring us with food, drink, technical infrastructure and time from their employees.

Nordic Perl Workshop is going to have a (two-day) track dedicated almost only to all things Perl 6, and another one with interesting topics about modern use of Perl 5. Our ambition is to use the conference as a recruiting ground for people who would like to learn about and hack on the projects related to the hackathon.

If all goes well, we might even have a small hackathon-like gig on thursday evening at NPW. The goal with this is to show new people what a hackathon is about and how easy it is to join in. PerlJam suggested making it into a "food for bugfixes" event, perhaps with old-timers helping the newbies with the bug fixing?

We have sponsorship (travel + hotel) for a couple of people already! More details later.

We're looking forward to the hackathon, but to make it a success WE NEED YOUR HELP. Update this page, tell us what you'd like to do, tell people about the hackathon.
